About this map

The eastern edges of Moscow define this part of Latah County, where the university town meets the agricultural Palouse. The street grid, anchored by the Latah County Courthouse, gives way to a landscape of rolling hills and draws including Paradise Valley and Haskins Flat. Historically significant burial sites are scattered throughout the region, from the large Moscow Cem and Sunset Memorial Gardens Cem near the city center to more remote locations like Buchanan Cem and Cordelia Lutheran Cem to the east and south.

Water flows define the terrain, with Paradise Creek and the South Fork Palouse River winding through the north, while Middle Potlatch Creek and Cow Creek drain the higher ground of Tomer Butte and Paradise Ridge. The transition from urban to rural is marked by peripheral features such as Fountains Airport and the small settlements of Joel and Blaine, connected by a network of country roads including Lenville Rd and Genesee-Troy Rd.
